well, barely a year after the release of their magnificent masterpiece Journal For Plague Lovers it seems that the Manic Street Preachers are back for more. today they have announced their 10th studio album, Postcards From A Young Man, will be released in September!

their official website features this picture - you have to presume it's the intended cover. if so, an interesting, new direction for cover art for them!

unless my eyes deceive me, that would be Tim Roth on the cover, wouldn't it?

Nicky Wire has intimated that the band has gone for a "disco influence", but he does tend to suggest that about every album!
